Morgan immediately called Lynch out for cheating, while the champ repeatedly shouted at the crowd that she “did nothing wrong!”ย
Morgan talked about the importance of Monday’s main event in a recent interview with ComicBook. She said, “Well, I feel like the biggest challenge at this point has just been the opportunity. I feel like that’s been the biggest challenge. And now that I have it, I know how huge it is. And I’m doing everything I possibly, and I hope Becky does, because I want her at her best and I want to beat her at her best. I feel like I owe this to my fans. As much as I want it, and I want it more than I want anything, I feel like I owe it to my fans to give them this moment, as well.”
